“We want to send a message that more needs to be done including protecting the vital social insurance safety net programs and creating a compassionate response to the terrible plight of undocumented immigrants in our country,” said a privately circulated memo on the demonstration.

“President Obama needs to hear from Seattle,” says a flyer for the outside get-together. It is being put on by the Washington State Labor Council, Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans, Casa Latina and other organizations.

Obama is not spending much time with America’s working families, or his political base, during a weekend swing to the West Coast.

He has a $35,800-a-couple “Medina Brunch with Barack” on tap Sunday morning at the home of former Microsoft COO Jon Shirley. It will be followed by the Paramount event: Tickets start at $1,000, with a $7,500 a person (or $10,000 a couple) pricetag for having your picture taken with the Democratic president.

Obama flies on to San Francisco, for another $35,800-a-couple dinner, hosted at the Atherton, Calif., home of Facebook COO Cheryl Sandberg. The President also has a $2,500 event in San Francisco, followed by four fund raiser in a daylong Southern California stop.

Organizers of the event outside the Paramount will be walking a fine line Sunday on Pine Street.

They are trying to be upbeat with the President, but also up the ante at a time when cuts in entitlement programs are on the table in Washington, D.C.

“We want to have a progressive presence outside the Paramount,” said the memo, because:

“1) We do not want the only story to be the Tea Party presence if they mobilize, and: 2) We appreciate that President Obama has put the need to create jobs and the need for new revenue from those who can most afford it on the table.

“But it is not enough.”

The demonstrators themes, according to the rally flyer, include: “Fair Taxation – Tax the Rich,” “Preserve and Protect Social Security,” “No Cuts in Medicare and Medicaid,” and “Support Good Jobs: Legalize Immigrant Workers.”
